John Williams Finally Confirmed for 'Star Wars: Episode VII'

From iwatchstuff John Williams, J.J. Abrams, and pretty much everyone else have long assumed the loyal Star Wars composer would be returning to make noises in the upcoming sequels. This weekend at Star Wars Celebration Europe, Europe's most historically-significant event, it was finally confirmed, with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy officially announcing Williams' participation in the seventh episode.

To accompany the announcement, Williams also recorded the below interview, in which he explains how he hopes to re-incorporate some old tracks when and where appropriate. Can't wait to hear if and how he updates favorites like The Imperial March, Luke and Leia, andHarrison Ford: The Song.
